2018 combined ratios for catastrophe-affected lines of business will likely improve (due to reversion to the mean). Personal Auto & Commercial Auto likely will be closer to 100

There is no sign of a “hard” market in 2018, but premium in both personal and commercial lines will likely continue rising

P/C insurance markets Financial markets The US economy

In the US, short-term interest rates are finally rising and this is expected to continue. Long-term rates haven’t changed as much, so the yield curve is flatter

Although bond yields anticipate inflation continuing near 2 percent for five or more years, more direct measures see prices rising closer to 3 percent, with prices in some sectors (lately, e.g., lumber) rising much faster

Real GDP growth has shown unexpected strength in recent calendar quarters. Both personal consumption (+4.7%) and business nonresidential fixed investment (8.1%) are rising, heralding a growing exposure base

This is the second longest expansion since WWII, and many forecasters say it will become the longest when it persists into July 2019. There are virtually no signs of another recession

9 days after Irma made landfall in Florida, 99.9% of FPL customers had power, thanks to $3 billion invested in storm-resilient systems.

Following Harvey, none of the major utilities in Texas suffered any significant damage in their generation fleet or power generating system, thanks to advanced infrastructural development.

Only about 14 % of Harris County, Texas properties had flood insurance at the time of Harvey.

Florida’s overall flood insurance rate was about 19% at the time of Irma.

Texas has no statewide building codes, but municipalities are considering adopting new standards.

In Florida, after Irma, homes that were built to stricter (post-Andrew) building codes fared better.

Personal Insurance Group Personal Insurance Commercial Insurance

Personal firearms liability insurance was available from some organizations to cover acts of self-defense

Offers protection against civil liability, the cost to defend against civil and criminal legal actions and access to attorney referrals

As of 2018, most brokers and insurers have stopped administering the programs

Coverages can be triggered by active shooting incidents, including general liability, business interruption and property insurance

Workers’ comp insurance is implicated in shootings in the workplace while commercial general liability insurance coverage might also be implicated in a public area

Most individuals have some property and liability coverage for firearms in their standard homeowners’ policy

Only covers accidental shootings and in some cases, acts of self-defense

Personal umbrella policies are available, covering liability above the homeowner policy limit

Defining Terms and ConceptsWhat is “The Fourth Industrial Revolution”?

F O U R I N D U S T R I A L R E V O L U T I O N S

The First Industrial Revolution used steam power to mechanize production (early 19th century)

The Second Industrial Revolution used electric power to create mass production (late 19th century and early 20th century)

– It also harnessed the internal combustion engine, the telephone (and other communications technology), and flight

The Third Industrial Revolution used the internet and information technology to automate production and accelerate communication (late 20th century)

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres

1. Customer expectations

2. Product enhancement

− Products can be more personalized and/or have added digitally-enhanced features

− Products can be more durable and resilient, and more cheaply and easily maintained

3. Collaborative innovation

− Given the speed of innovation, organizations will need new forms of collaboration to keep up

4. Organizational forms

− Talent, culture, and organizational forms will have to be rethought

1. Customer expectations (personal lines and small business insurance)

Regarding shopping for, and buying, insurance

– Artificial Intelligence (AI) could, via big data, determineunique characteristics for each prospective customer

– AI and virtual reality could help buyer choose idealpolicy limits in part by simulating various claims events

F O U R M A I N E F F E C T S O F T H E F O U RT H I N D U S T R I A L R E V O L U T I O N O N T H E I N S U R A N C E B U S I N E S S

2. Product enhancement

Policies can be linked to sensors on the policyholder’s property (or, for life and health insurance, on the policyholder)

Policies can be linked to recommend tailored behavior-changeinformation that would reduce risks that could become claims,such as real-time driving suggestions, etc.

Policies can be linked to tailored educational information, such as updated flood-zone maps, new scientific discoveries regarding earthquakes, etc.

3. Collaborative innovation

Need for new forms of collaboration

Insurers devising new coverages, collaborating with customers and business

Insurers will have to collaborate with regulators

Technology could foster creation of new insurers with specialized coverage

4. Talent, culture, and organizational forms

The percent of people in the agency, underwriting, financialmanagement and claims areas will shrink

The percent of people in actuarial and IT areas will explode

Insurers will want to be seen by customers as part of a “financial safety net”
